EAST NEW YORK - Residents say they're shocked after another possible “knockout” attack yesterday afternoon in East New York.

Police say a 76-year-old woman was walking along Wortman Avenue around 12 p.m. Friday when she was struck in the head and fell to the ground. She was taken to the hospital, where she was treated and released. The suspect immediately fled after the attack.

This assault is the third potential “knockout” reported in East New York in the past week. All of the attacks happened within blocks of each other, but police have yet to confirm if the attacks are connected.
